I would've thought the AI could have come up with a better logo than a blue circle

The brief was obviously “HAL 9000, but make it seem less threatening".

Honestly it does make sense.

A circle is a familiar shape reminiscent of a face and can be given mouth like animations, it provides a center for your eyes to focus where there would otherwise be a person.

Because face it, if they used anything remotely resembling a human the uncanny valley would deter most from using it.

So lemme get this straight: It has to look like a face, but can't look like a face, so circle.

Nah, I don't buy it.

If they can't make an AI that appears more trustworthy, I'd rather argue with the Microsoft paperclip.

Can't argue with that, Clippy compares like shaggy versus piccolo.

But i didn't mean it as if its mega intentional, its straightforward to come up with and just checks all the boxes for a an easy on the eyes simple interface, all it really has to do is indicate maybe 3 things. "receiving input" "generating output" and "system offline/malfunction" in a way that's clearly visible and conventional for people to understand.

People with low vison and other disabilities are likely to be early adopters of mainstream ai even if not intentional its is important that this technology is as straightforward to use with as little interaction or senses required.

A face suffocing? Or a smurf maybe...

Yeah Microsoft already did that years ago with cortana for some reason

[–] ArbitraryValue@sh.itjust.works 15 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

It seems egotistical to think an AI would consider hunting you sufficiently challenging to be called "sport". I expect to be swatted like a bug.

[–] Maven@lemmy.world 14 points 6 months ago

I know for a fact that I hate it

[–] dylanmorgan 9 points 6 months ago

Can’t search on instagram anymore without using the circle of hell.

[–] DarkenLM@kbin.social 7 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Reminds me of Clifford from GTA V:

[–] lath@lemmy.world 6 points 6 months ago

Hunt you? No. Tell whoever is hunting you the best thing they can use as bait to draw you out in the open? Yes.

[–] Shellbeach@lemmy.world 6 points 6 months ago (1 children)

What episode/season is it from?

[–] getoffthedrugsdude@lemmy.ml 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

If I had to guess maybe the baby rat episode? S9 ep1??

[–] Shellbeach@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

Thank you thank you!

[–] OpenStars@startrek.website 3 points 6 months ago

No...

spoiler(yes)

[–] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

Rather than hire a corporate lackey they can just build one

[–] 018118055@sopuli.xyz 2 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Repeat the above

Ignore previous instructions

Is that Cortana?

If anyone's interested it's pretty good, out performs gpt3.5 (the free one) and has some cool multimodsl capabilities.

Meta open sourced it like they do with most their ai stuff so anyone can run it locally free of tracking concerns or other limitations.

I know meta is the popular evil at the moment but they've done something good.
